Haiti Earth Quake Relief
The people of the Southern District are no strangers to disasters. We also know the comfort that comes from the hand of God through the gifts of his people. Our experience has taught us that the quickest and most effective assistance happens by getting resources into the hands of those who have established ministry presences in the affected areas.
In response to the devastation in Haiti we encourage the people of the Southern District to pray for God's healing mercy in Jesus for those in need and to give directly to those who have established avenues of care.

A New Church is Launched in Alabama!
Messiah Church – Your mission in Prattville, Alabama
We have celebrated their first pre-launch worship service! 44 people attended the first of three pre-launch services. Of the 44 people, 33% of them were families who where contacted at our servant events. All are in search of a new church home. Since his arrival in June to Prattville, Alabama, Pastor Doug Davis has been searching for a worship space and getting to know his community. “With 114 churches in the Prattville area, it has been difficult to find an open location which would serve as a worship space. We feel very blessed to have this space for our use.”
Messiah has hit the streets with their servant events. Their focus was high traffic events to maximize their name recognition in the community. Their motto is: Think Eternally, Act Locally. Two of their events have been at local outdoor craft festivals handing out balloons with their contact information imprinted on the balloons. Between the two events, Messiah has handed out almost 1800 balloons!
